Buongiorno Caro Amico BRIAN...
Enjoying your WORDS&ORIGINS. I always thought the Italian origin for masquerade was mascherata or maschera! I like the words you’re choosing to highlight their meanings and origins! Bravo!
Un Abbraccio e Baci...

The natty masquerader lapsed into kitsch and was ostracised so wrote a great ode !!
THANKS MICHAEL ~ Sounds a bit like DIY Modern Poetry ~ Any words in Any order ! I included NATTY & KISCH & LAPSE ~ because they are uncommon but good rhyming words ~ I enjoyed your ake on it ~ Five more tomorrow ! BRIAN
Awesome write Brian! Cool pic! (I love the lipstick) Anyway, great job on these! Sisterly hugs-Christina
Thanks CHRIS ~ Pleased you liked it and the PICTURE ! For a LADY to wear MAUVE lipstick & matching nail vanish ~ She has to be as beautiful as Angela & Yourself ~ I love the MASKS they have in Venice for the Carnival ~ elegant and decadent ! The mask must complement the cosmetics ~
